Abstract/Summary
A hybrid AC/DC house aims to maximize the use of AC electricity from the utility grid and DC electricity from renewable energy sources such as roof-top solar panels. The hybrid system will therefore improve the reliability of the electrical by enabling power to be delivered to the loads even when one of the sources is not operational. One of the critical loads that every house needs is lighting. The hybrid AC/DC system should therefore be reliably facilitating the power delivery to the lighting. In this project, a localized hybrid AC/DC for LED light bulbs is designed and constructed. The hybrid AC/DC light bulb system will also be made portable by utilizing battery such that users may use the light bulb system as a portable light or a flashlight. Hardware prototype of the proposed hybrid AC/DC light bulb was constructed and tested. Results demonstrate the system functions properly with both AC and DC sources in conjunction with the batteries.
